His pale skin showed bright in the moonlight. From a distance I could see the green color of his eye’s as they darted around, taking in his surroundings. He glanced my way and I quickly stepped back into the shadows. Quietly hoping he didn’t see me. Then I quietly watched as he bit his bottom lip as if he was nervous. He bit his lip so hard the smell of his blood lingered in the air. I saw him smile a bloody smile to himself as he calmly strolled up the dark alley way smoking a Marlboro.

He took off his black stocking cap and shook out his shoulder length black hair out of his eyes before putting it back on his head. There was a hint of smeared eye liner close to his eyes, so black it deepened the green in his eye. As he slowed down I could see he was wearing all black. He took off his jacket and I could see he wore a black sleeveless shirt which showed off his sleeve tattoo that covered his left arm. It consisted of nothing but skulls, many different sizes.

I followed a little behind him to what looked like an old abandoned ware house, but there was loud dancing music coming from inside. As he knocked on the door I walked out from the shadows in time for him to catch a glimpse of me before he entered the building.

My long hair was colored black and blue, parted down the middle with six black and blue braids on each side of my head. The braids themselves came down to the back of my knees. I wore a black corset with a short black and blue plaid skirt with knee high boots. As I came to the door the man there smiled at me and said, “We have been expecting you. There is a special seat reserved for you.” As he spoke a small dwarf took my hand as she started to lead me inside the building. We entered the black silk hallway, which lead to one of the biggest dance clubs I had ever seen. The dwarf led me through the dance floor to a staircase on the far side of the room. She took me to the only table that was lit by candles.

The pale boy with the blood red lips sat at the table and smiled at me as I walked up. I couldn’t help but to kiss his lip, which still had blood on it. After I gave him a nibble I quickly stopped and backed away.

“Sorry!” I exclaimed as I put my hand over my mouth to hide my fangs. He just let out a little chuckle.

“That’s ok; I’m going to take that as a compliment.” He said with a smile as he took my hand away from my mouth. I just looked him directly in his green eyes and smiled.

“I must admit I saw you bite your lip. Your blood smelled so good I just had to follow you.”

“I know I did that on purpose. I seen you watching me, and I knew at that moment I just had to meet you. As you can see I like to be around a bunch of different people. Goths, Vampires, Magical, basically everyone. But you, you are different. You have a wonderful gift and I want to understand why you do not use it. I know you are a vampire- witch, and that is just rare in itself.”

“Really? There are so many other people here, how can you tell that I am the only one? What do you mean that I am rare?”

“This is my place, I own this club. Everyone here calls me Ace. You are a rare being because your race was known to be wiped out. There are going to be a lot of people looking for you. Most of them are dangerous, they just want to kill you and take your power.”

“Well what do you want from me? I’m not really that unique.” He looked me in my brown eyes and smiled at me.

“I know you are special. We just have to help you see that. That’s what I want; I want to show you that you are the first vampire-witch we have seen in over 10,000 years. I could tell that you were magical when you nibbled me.”

“Don’t tell anyone I am here!” I exclaimed. “I will be hunted down and killed if anyone finds out. That’s why I have been on the run for so long. I guess it is time for me to leave this place and go to a new town.” I said as I started to head for the stair case.

“Please wait!” He said as he put his hand on my shoulder. “We know people with be hunting you. You just have to know that they have been looking for you’re since you came to town three months ago. We plan on helping you reach your full potential. As you learn to use your powers I offer you my protection.”

“Well Ace, it sounds like a good idea, but I don’t want to be a burden to you.”

“Oh! It’s no trouble.” He exclaimed. “I mean it’s my job. I have been training people for centuries. Some learn that they have more power that they know what to do with so they end up helping others and they learn as they go. I have been doing it secretly for centuries, granted these last few thousand years have been a little slow, but I’m sure I can help you.” He went back to the table and lit a cigarette. “Besides, there is going to be a lot of people looking for you. Legend has it that a girl will come to save the vampire line. You see we are in danger from the K-9 clan. They are also known as werewolves.”

He spoke clearly and looked at me intently as he told me the story of a young man who was believed to be a wizard. The young man put a spell on his victims before he drank their blood. He went on to tell me how this man was hunted down by the K-9’s. Before he was killed he cursed the K-9 clan stating that a vampire with the birthmark of half star half heart would come and make the vampires strong again. That she would have the power to use magic, and summon spirits with great power that they could wipe out the K-9 clan with out breaking a sweat.

“River, I know you are the one. I caught sight of you heartagram on the bottom side of your right wrist. I had caught a glimpse of it as you were coming up the steps.” He said and I quickly pulled my long fingerless black glove back over my birthmark.

“Ace, what do you think? I mean if you followed someone to a dance club in the middle of the night, hoping they were going to be your next meal. Then they end up telling you you’re basically in danger from K-9’s, and that you are the chosen on to help out all vampire kind fight stronger. What would you think?” He lit another cigarette and sat back in his big black chair.

“Hmmm, I would have to say something like, ‘Feed me since my meal turned out to be someone to protect me.’ But that’s just me.” He said with a smile. “Maybe you should eat something then let me know what you think of things once you have a full stomach.” He got up and took a drag of his cigarette as he walked to the balcony and waved at someone below him.

“Ace. . . how did you know my name? I don’t recall telling you.” He turned and took off his hat to run his fingers through his hair.

“The pixy that has been watching you told me your name. She was the one who brought us together. She will be here shortly.”

A young woman dressed in black leather bondage straps came walking up the steps holding a silver tray with two glasses and a black bottle with no label on it. Instead there was a picture of a bloody rose on it.

“Thank you Lesly.” He said as he brushed a few strands of her red hair away from her shoulder and smelled her neck. “That is all.” Lesly smiled in my direction.

“It’s my pleasure Ace.” She said as she put the tray in the middle of the table. I could see her blush when she looked at me before she left.

“What was that all about?” I asked as he sat down again and filled both the glasses.

“She is happy to meet you. You’re a hero already and your lessons haven’t even begun.” He handed me the glass and smiled. “To new friends.”

I held my glass up with his and drank the warm fluid. It was the best, cleanest blood I had tasted in a long time. He must have seen the shocked look on my face.

“I have this stored in the basement. We have some of the best doctors make it. It’s the closest we can get to the real thing.”

“You mean this is. . . manufactured someplace? Wow. It tastes so pure.”

After two more glasses I felt better than I did in a while. My senses were so high I felt like I was drunk. I looked him in the eye and reached across the table and grabbed his hand. I held his hand palm up and a red glow emitted. His eyes got really wide when he felt the chain form in his hand.

“This is my sign to show that I accept your protection. I cannot wait to be taught by you.” I said with a smile as he held out the necklace with a small silver heartagram on it. The middle had a small vile made right in it.

“This is so cool.” He said as he put it on.

Lesly came back up the stairs holding her hand out. On it I could see a small figure sitting down enjoying the ride and keeping the beat of the music with her foot.

“Ace, Shell is here. She insisted I bring her right away.” She placed her hand on the table so the small figure could get off.

“Thanks Lesly” Ace said. “Shell this is River. She has accepted our help.”

“That’s nice to hear.” She said as she walked across the table and stood right in front of me. “Nice to finally meet you, I am glad to finally be allowed to say hello. I’m sure Ace has told you that I was following you, we had to make sure you were the one.”

“That’s ok he told me what was going on.”

“So Shell, how is it looking downstairs?”

“Ace, I followed a couple that raises my suspicions of being K-9. I am convinced that they do not know River is here. They are just dancing downstairs; I have Tony keeping a watchful eye on them.”

“Good thinking Shell. River I think we should get you out of here, before the K-9’s find out you are here.” Said Ace, as he stood up from his chair. “Do you have any suggestions on how we can get you out of here without being noticed?” He asked Shell.

Before she had the chance to say anything I stood up and smiled. “I do.” I closed my eyes and a blue light looked as if it came right from inside me. Suddenly there was a flash of smoke everywhere as my body disappeared the smoke went right into the heartagram around Ace’s neck.

“Holy shit! Where the hell did she go?” Exclaimed Shell as she looked around.

“I think she went into my necklace.” He said holding up the silver pendant in his hands.

“Oh look a small vile.” Said Shell as she jumped up and down on the table.

“Oh yea look there she is.” He said pointing a finger towards the vile. I just looked at them with a smile and waved.

“So how is this?” I asked.

“Wow you sound like you’re in my head. This is fine. I think we will make it out of here no problem. Shell I want you to stay here as long as the K-9 couple is here. Don’t be seen. Then come to the Manson and give me your full report. I’m going to show River the layout of the Manson. If you see Stone tell him to get home A.S.A.P. I have a surprise for him.” He said nodding towards the necklace.

“Well my dear, how long can you stay in the heartagram? I very rarely get to leave right away. I’m always stopped by other people and have to say hello, sometimes I even have to dance.”

“No worries I can stay like this for as long as I wish. Just put the pendant in your shirt. Whenever I am like this the pendant emits off a blue glow, and I am sure you don’t want the first person you see to know about me.”

“You’re right. I will let you know when we are safely in the car.” He said as he tucked the pendant in his shirt. As he walked down the stairs a young woman came walking up and gave him a hug.

“Hi Ace. How are things going?” Asked a blonde haired young woman as she started to dance seductively by him.

“Going good, have either of you seen Stone? I’m looking for him.”

“No, I haven’t.”

“Ok, if you see him can you let him know I’m looking for him? Thanks Lucy.”

“Sure Ace, anything for you.” Smiled the blonde haired girl. “Are you sure you have to go? We could have some private time for us.” She said holding onto his arm.

“Lucy you know I can’t and you know why. I’m waiting for the one who will come to save us from the K-9’s.”

“Oh baby it could be centuries before she comes. I’m her now, can’t we just play?” She said with a pout as she tried to give him her puppy dog look.

“No Lucy. Now let’s just leave it at that.” He said looking annoyed as he pulled himself away from her. As he continues down the steps a heavy set man who was standing near the bottom and came up to Ace.

“Have you seen Shell lately? Was she right?”

“Go find Stone when you are done here, and meet me at the Manson. We have great news.” He said with a sly smile.

Ace walked through the black silk curtains and looked towards the dance floor. There he saw some fairies flying around the strobe light having a good time and in the corner he saw some Goth girls dancing with Lucy and her friend’s. Then he turned to the right and headed for the door.

“Short visit tonight Ace, see you around later.”

“Don’t worry Jack; I just may come back later. There is just something that needs my immediate attention.

“Ok see you later.”

As Ace walked out the door he put his jacket back on. Two girls came walking up before he had a chance to open his car door.

“Hey Ace are you heading back to the Manson? Can we catch a ride? Crystal wants to change.”

“Sure Lilly, you girls just hop right in.” The two scantily dressed girls giggled as they jumped into the car. He just sat there and watched the girls nibble each other on the neck and hold each others hand.

“So Crystal what’s wrong with your clothes? They look fine to me.” Ace asked with a look of seriousness on his face as he looked at Crystal. She wore a short black and red plaid skirt with a short black belly shirt. Around her neck she work a collar with medium sized spikes and a chain that led to a leash in which Lilly held onto.

“Nothing Lilly just wants to see me with nothing on.” She said smiling as she gently ran her finger tips up Lilly’s thigh.

“Oh I see, you girls are calling it an early night. Alone time, I get it.” He said with a smile and a wink.

“Ace you know you are more than welcome to join us.” Lilly said as she gently kisses Crystals bottom lip.

“Tempting Lilly but you know why I can’t”

“Wait, wait, and wait. That’s all you do Ace, and that’s not good. I can help you with your needs baby.” She said as she put her hand on his knee.

“Thanks for the offer girls but you seem like you have everything under control. Besides you two are just too much for me.” He said jokingly.

“Ok hun, but you don’t know what you’re missing.” She said as she started to kiss Crystal again. He just smiled and looked out the window as they pulled up to the Manson. After the three of them got out of the car and went in he waved at them and told them to have fun.

“We will!” They yelled as they headed off to their room. Ace headed up the main stairs and ran into Stone on the first landing.

“I hear you have been looking for me. What do you need?”

“Follow me, talk with me.” He said as he continued up the steps.

“Is it true?” Stone barley whispered.

“Yes it is, after all these years . . . we finally found her.” He walked through a grand door into the master bedroom.

“Where is she? Does she know how much danger she is in? Why didn’t you bring her here?”

“Shut the door.”

“Ace this is serious!” Stone said with excitement in his voice. He shut the door and turned to yell again but Ace put his hand up and reached into his shirt and pulled out the pendant.

“It’s ok, we are safe now.”

Immediately blue smoke surrounded Ace and Stone backed up until he was pressed up against the door. When the smoke cleared I was standing a little behind Ace holding his hand.

“Sorry I have trust issues.” I said as I looked at Stone.

“Holy shit!” He said looking at me with shock and amazement.

“How the hell did you do that?”

“Magic. Can’t you do anything?”

“No way, not even if I tried.” Stone said with a smile.

“Ok River this is Stone. He is my defense master. So he is very trustable.”

“Nice to meet you River.” He said bowing then kissed my hand. “I am at your service. If there is anything you need don’t hesitate to ask.”

“Ok.”

Then someone knocked on the door and a young girl came running in. Quickly I disappeared by becoming invisible.

“Uncle Ace! How was the club! Any fight tonight?! Did you find her yet? Where is she?”

“Oh Sissy you always have so many questions every time I see you.” He said as he stooped down to pick her up. “Let’s see now, the club was very interesting tonight, no fights and yes I found her, she is here.”

“Yay!” Screamed the small child as she jumped down and looked around the room. “Where is she?” Ace looked at Stone and he just shrugged his shoulders.

“I don’t know you must have scared her away.”

“But I’m not scary uncle Ace. My fangs are still small.”

With that I reappeared on the bed laughing. “That was just the cutest thing I have heard in a long time.” The little girls’ eyes got wide with excitement.

“Is that her?”

“Yes that’s her. Her name is River.” She quickly ran to the bed and jumped up to hug me.

“Nice to meet ya lady. It’s about time you got here. My name is Sissy. Don’t be scared I won’t bite.” She smiled and I could see her small fangs, I just smiled.

“Ok I won’t be scared anymore.” I said with a smile. I looked at Ace and saw he looked just pleased to see the two of us getting along.

“I guess I have to get used to being around others, especially young ones.”

“Sissy maybe you should go tell the others she is here. They are all going to meet her sooner or later. Stone call a meeting for 3 am. That way everyone will be here and they can all meet her.”

“Ok uncle Ace.” The girl jumped off the bed and ran out the door.

“Yes sir.” Stone said and left the room and shut the door behind him. After they left I smiled at Ace and got comfortable on the bed.

“Sorry you had to save yourself for me. I’m not really anything special.” I said looking a little sad. “Besides it sure seems like all the girls want you, at the club and in the car. Why wait for me, you can choose anyone?”

He just came walking up close to me and I could smell him he was so close. Then he sat beside me on the bed.

“I always knew you were coming to meet me. Besides, I don’t want the other girls. It’s you that I want and only you. Don’t worry, I have waited this long, now that you’re here in the flesh I know I can wait.” Smiling he gently brushed a piece of hair out of my eye. I just looked into his deep green eyes and held his gaze.

“Well how bad would I be, making you wait all these years and not give you this?” I said as I gently kissed his lips. I wrapped my arms around his body and held him close. Then he started to kiss my neck. Startled I jumped back and nearly fell off the bed.

“Were you going to bite me?”

“Well I was thinking about it. I didn’t mean to scare you.”

“No, no, no, it’s not that. There is something in my blood. My mother did it when I was a young girl. Only the ‘One’ can taste of my blood, or the one who bites me will die a burning, exploding death. Not pretty, trust me. I have seen guys blow up from the inside out, everything just kind of rips apart.”

“Sound’s to me like your mother was very protective. What makes you think that I am not the one?”

“Well there is one way to find out.” I said as I got up from the bed and went over by the window. I grabbed a small dagger from a back pocket and turned to look at him with a sly smile.

“Do you trust me?” I asked as I twirled the blade around my fingers. He just sat on the bed looking at me with one eyebrow raised. Then with a smile he lit a cigarette and said, “Sure I do, what you plan to do with that?”

“Just watch.” I said as I laid the blade on the nightstand. “Just do as I do.” I bit my wrist and watched as he did the same. “Now all we have to do is put a couple of drops of our blood on the blade and step back.” He did the same and we stepped back a couple of steps and stood looking at the dagger on the nightstand dripping with our blood.

“If you are the one nothing will happen, but if you are not the one it will bubble up and explode.”

“I see.” He said as he stood there and watched the blade. After a few minuets I looked at him and smile.

“Your in luck, it didn’t blow up.”

He came walking up to me from behind and held me close. We just stood there looking at the dagger covered in our blood.

“Seriously I’m the one?” He whispered into my ear. I just nodded and held onto his arms. I moved my head to the side so his mouth was right by my neck.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.” I said as I turned to face him. He kissed my lips and gently moved towards my neck. I could feel his fangs penetrate through my skin. I could feel the warmth flow from my body into his. After a few minuets he stopped and opened his eyes. They had turned from a bright emerald green to a fiery red. He exhaled smoke with a smile on his face.

“Woo, that was amazing. Wow that was just too cool.”

“Don’t worry; your eye color will go back to its normal color. They are going to stay red as my blood flows through your veins. It was like drinking liquid fire wasn’t it?”

“Sure was, that was cool as hell.”

I walked over to a black love seat by one of the huge bay windows and I looked out into the night’s sky.

“It’s just so beautiful here. I have live so long by myself hiding in the woods. Surviving in old abandoned houses and mausoleums. It’s just so peaceful here.”

“Well I promise to keep you safe. There is no way that the K-9’s will get you here.” He said as he walked over to the window.

“So you think I am a fighter? Do you seriously think that I can show you and the Coven a new fighting technique?”

“Yes I do. I know that we will be victorious. Believe it or not you are the weapon. It is in you’re blood. I’m sure Shell can help find a way to reproduce it. She is a genius when it comes to blood. She is in charge of our blood manufacturing.”

“Well how long do you think we have before the K-9’s find out we gave them the slip?”

“Hopefully ten days. Two weeks at the most.”

I sat and looked out the window staring up at the night sky. Ace came and sat beside me and looked up at the moon. There was a lunar eclipse that night, the moon looked blood red.

“You know, it’s almost time to meet the rest of the coven. Why don’t you try and relax in the tub for a little while.”

“Really? Sounds like a good plan to me.”

We both stood up and I followed him through black doors that lead to a huge black and white bathroom. There was a huge black onyx bathtub that was in the floor, it looked like a swimming pool in the center of the room. Ace immediately stooped down and began to run the water. Once it was a nice hot temperature he got up and walked over to a white cupboard and grabbed a couple thick black towels.

“Well once the water reaches this level just push that button over there. The jet streams are programmed to stay on for 90 minuets. Towels here, robe hanging over the chair. Just make yourself at home. River, you are safe here, just try and relax.” He said backing out of the bathroom and closing the door. I turned and watched the water fill in the tub.

“Wow, that’s quite a big tub.” I whispered to myself as I began to take my hair down. I just ran my fingers through it and as my fingers passed through my braids, my hair became straight. I undressed and threw my clothes on a small bench and climbed into the tub pushing the button on my way down and turning off the water.

Ace went out to the main entry way and seen Shell sitting on the railing at the top of the steps.

“So how is she? Is she starting to feel a little relaxed?”

“Well she’s in the tub. I sure hope so.” He said as he lit a cigarette with a worried look on his face.

“Did you get her some new clothes?”

“No, but I was hoping you could help out in that area.” He said winking.

“Since when are you shy Ace?” She asked slyly picking on him.

“I just don’t know what to give her. I don’t wear skirts.” He said with a smile.

“Don’t worry Ace. I will go see if she needs anything.” With that she flew up to the master bedroom. As she was heading towards the bathroom door she could hear me humming in the tub. She stood outside the door listening to me.

I just looked at the door and pointed my finger at it. I moved my finger around in a circle and watched the doorknob move. The door opened and Shell almost fell on the floor.

“Sorry, I heard you humming and just had to listen. It’s a song that I have not heard before, but it is very beautiful.”

“Thanks. It is the same melody that I hear over and over in my head. It has been in there as long as I can remember.” I said knocking on my head.

“Um . . . let’s see . . . oh yea! Ace wants to know if you need clothes.”

“Oh no. I have clothes.” I said pointing to the bench.

“I think he means fresh clean clothes.”

“Yea, I understand, but they change when I put them back on. It’s cool actually.” I said smiling. “Shell can I ask you something?”

“Sure, you can ask me anything.” She said as she landed by the edge of the tub and stuck her feet in the water.

“Ah that feels good.” She said with a sigh of relief.

“Why has Ace been saving himself for me?”

“Actually he has no choice. Since his birth no one has been able to bite him. His blood would run in the vampires veins of who bit him and they would turn to stone. He was told about you when he was a child and he swore to save you.” She said splashing her feet back and forth.

“I don’t understand, I drank his blood and I’m not stone.” I said and watched her eyes get wide.

“Really? Hmmm.” She tapped her finger on her left temple.

“That explains why he said I was magical when I nibbled him.” I said with a smile. As we sat there talking it was so much fun for me. I haven’t had a friend in a while that I could just talk to. After about forty-five minuets the jets shut off and I stood up and started to dry off. Shell turned her back to me until I got my thong and bra on then I made her turn around,

“Ok short skirt.” I said as I bent over and started pulling it up. As it raised up my legs’ it changed to a long black skirt that went to the floor. It has slits that went up both the sides up to my thighs, over the slits hung a couple silver chains.

“That’s so cool.” She said as I pulled my shirt over my head and it turned into a crimson tank top. Then I shook my arms and a black nylon shirt appeared. The sleeves were long enough to cover my mark.

“See I told you it was cool. So Ace doesn’t have to worry about me not having clean clothes.”

“I guess not.” She said with a smile.

I brushed my long hair and looked in the mirror. I put my hands on my face and moved them down and my makeup appeared.

“Well that must save on room for luggage.” Shell said as she flew over to the mirror touching up her makeup as well.

“You are so beautiful.” She said with a smile.

“Thank-you Shell. So are you.” I smiled back.

“Well hun are you ready to meet the Coven?”

“I think so.” We left the bathroom and went to the main bedroom. There stood Ace he has changed into a loose fitting black suit. He didn’t wear a tie and because he had left the top couple buttons of his shirt undone I could see the chain of the pendant I gave him. He just stood there staring at me as I crossed the room.

“Wow . . . you are so beautiful.” He said as I walked into his arms and he gave me a big hug.

“Well you look good yourself. The wet look looks good on you.” I said as I ran my fingers through his damp hair.

“Thanks.” He said with a smile. “Well are we ready?” He put his arm out so I could take it.

“I think so.” I said as I held out my hand so Shell could sit with me. I took a deep breath and we exited the room. From the top of the steps I could see Sissy off on the side spinning around and watching as her dress flowed around in a circle.

Everyone looked so beautiful. There must have been at least sixty people standing around waiting and having fun. They were dressed so elegantly all I could do was look around in amazement. The women had beautiful corsets on and the men wore wonderful suits, although none of the men wore tie.

“Ok everyone can I get your attention!” Said Ace once we were at the top of the stairwell, everyone all stopped talking and looked up toward us.

“This is River; she has come here to help us. We are now guaranteed a win against the K-9’s. With her help we will be victorious. Everyone began to cheer and clap their hands.

“So I know you all are ready for action, and our time will come, but for now we will finish our after club celebration. Eventually you may come up and introduce yourselves to River and let her know what you do for the family.”

Music started again and everyone went off in all directions of the room. There were bottles with bloody roses placed on all the tables. I walked over to a table by a corner and sat down. I put Shell down on the table and smiled at her.

“Whew, I think that went fairly well.” I said as I sat back.

“Sure did.” Shell said as she sat down on a small fluffy pillow at the center of the table.

“Well that looks comfortable.” I said as I poured myself a glass of the blood from the bottle.

“Sure is, you should join me sometime.”

“Ok.” I said as I twirled my finger and shrank down to Shell’s size. I walked across the table and jumped on the pillow with Shell.

“Wow! Ace! Your girl disappeared again.” Said Stone as he ran off to find Ace. Everyone looked toward the table and saw that I was gone.

“It’s Ok Uncle Ace; she is just talking with Shell. They both fit on my dolly pillow.” Said Sissy pointing at us on the table.

“Ha ha ha, she sure keeps me on my toes.” He said to Sissy with a smile.

Crystal and Lilly sat at the table and introduced themselves to me.

“Do you normally do this? Change your size?” Asked Lilly.

“Well I do whatever I can do to keep myself safe. So I do change my size, shape, and color, whatever is needed to be done. Besides, Shell told me to join her on the pillow. It looked so soft and comfortable I just could not say no.”

Crystal looked impressed as she said, “That’s so cool.”

“So what is the topic of discussion tonight Shell?” Said Lilly.

“Well we were talking about the sooner we start testing her blood, the sooner we will able to start manufacturing better weapons.”

“Oh that means lab time for me. Sorry babe gotta work.” Said Crystal as she starts to nibble on Lilly’s bottom lip.

“It’s Ok hun; I know it’s for a good cause. Beside’s that I will be testing Rivers endurance after you draw blood to start working with. We will be running, sparring, shooting weapons and swimming. We just want a better understanding of how you have survived all these years by yourself.”

“You know all these years I didn’t think that I was all that important.” I said as I turned around on the pillow and laid on my belly just like Shell was doing. I even took my shoes off and held them up in the air just getting comfortable.

“Oh darlin’ you have no idea. I was happy to see you are real. I was starting to get worried for Ace. Poor guy, he believed in you so much, he knew you would be here one day. He waited a long time for you to show up.” Said Lilly.

Just then Ace came walking up with a cigarette in hand and a smile on his face. “Well, well, well, what have we here? My River how small you have become. Are you having fun?” I just gave Shell a smile.

“Yes Ace this is one of the best times I have ever had in my life. We were just planning the torture that Lilly has planned for me.” I said winking at Lilly.

“Yes, yes, she has a big night ahead of her tomorrow. Tonight we play! Tomorrow is business!” She said with lots of excitement as her and Crystal started dancing.

Ace sat down at the table and I got up from the pillow and started walking across the table again and stood in front of him. I held out my hand and wiggled my fingers. As I started to grow back to my normal size I jumped off the table and landed in his lap. He just smile and gave me a hug.

“Boy that is one comfy pillow.”

“Is it? Well now I know why Shell is always on it.” He said with a smile as he nodded in her direction. She looked so zoned and comfortable.

“So how many different people to you have staying here?”

“Well Pixies of course. Um let me think here. Stone has a Phoenix. I know the Elves can make a real kick ass tea when you have a bad headache. I have had it a couple times; it is so smooth and relaxing. It knocks me out on my ass every time I take it. Lilly is one for speed, she runs as fast as a Cheetah and hits you like a Mac truck. We also have witches and wizards, Goths who are vampires and who are not. We have our day walkers who sell and take care of the plasma.

“Basically everyone is special in their own way. Just like one big happy family.” I smiled and kissed his check before moving to my own chair.

“Yep, and we like to keep things like that. That’s why we need your help. The K-9’s are strong, they are the strongest they have ever been. I know we are quicker, but they are stronger.”

“Well I will try my best to help you as much as possible.”

We traded smiles with each other. Then Sissy came running in and jumped into Ace’s lap, and started twirling one of her fingers around one of his curls.

“Uncle Ace, when is mommy going to be home? She already missed the speech.” She was barely able to hold her eyes open; it was like she immediately was hit with sleepiness.

“I don’t know Sissy, but I will find out for you, ok?” He picked her up and kissed her on her forehead before he put her down in the chair with me.

Ace got up and walked over to Stone. They talked for a few minuets then Stone and two others left. Ace came walking back over and gave me a worried look.

“Hey Sissy, you want to see something?” I asked.

“Sure.” She said with an immediate smile on her face.

“Ok. Lay on the bed and just watch.”

When she got comfortable I held out my hands and started to hum a song. With the way the song went, I started to move around and wave my hands. With my movements a small light emerged from the middle of my hands. I made it dance around each of my fingers.

Then I moved my hands up above my head in a ball, humming gently I brought them fluttering down and made them land palms up. Amazingly about 7 huge Monarch Butterflies emerged from the light in the middle of my hands. With out me noticing a crowd of people had gathered around our table. Everyone was clapping their hands and showing their surprise with big smiles.

“What a beautiful song, what did you say the name of it was?” Questioned Lilly.

“What was that?” Exclaimed Sissy.

“That’s The Dance of the Butterfly.”

Ace sat down by the table and watched Sissy run off chasing the butterflies. I walked over to Ace and gave his shoulder a quick squeeze before I sat down.

“Thank you, for distracting her. I’m worried about her mother, Zoe. Her and two others are late. Stone and a couple of his men are out trying to get information about what happened or why they are late.”

I could see the worried look on his face as I watched Sissy play with the butterflies. At that moment everything became very clear to me. I understood why Ace was so worried, what was going to happen to Sissy if her mom was dead? I know this place is a big family, I just have no idea how these things work. I have been alone for far too long.

“Well Ace its my pleasure, besides, she needs to be a child while she still can. I know I wish that I could have enjoyed mine. Hopefully Stone comes back with some good news.”

“You have been alone for too long.” He said with a serious tone in his voice. “If we could have found you sooner I think you would. . . um. . .” I could see he was distracted with what was by the door. It was Stone and he was motioning for Ace to follow him.

In the other room behind closed doors lay the bodies of two girls. They had left with Zoe earlier that night. As Ace pulled the white sheet that covered the bodies down he noticed a gaping hole in the girls chest. It looked like her heart was ripped right out of her chest. He closed his eyes in disbelief then covered up the body and went to the other table to look at the other body. Half of her head was gone; it looked like it was bitten.

“Ace it does look like they fought back. They have defensive wounds on their hands and arms. They were killed before they could heal. This can only mean that it was quick.”

“Was it the K-9’s?”

“As far as I can tell. Yes. I will have more information once I finalize my autopsy and report back to you as soon as possible.”

“Thanks Doc.” He lit a smoke as he left the room.

“Stone, what the hell happened?”

“Well from what we could gather the girls were leaving the club. They were attacked about a block away. According to Jack the doorman the K-9’s came in and they were asking questions about River. Ace they wanted to know everything, when she was there, where she was, who she was talking to. Ace it is clear that they don’t know that we have her here and because of this the girls were killed. Zoe was taken to a safe house. One of the girls saw what was going down and rushed Zoe out of there. She told Jack to tell you that Zoe was safe and not to worry, she will be home tomorrow at sundown.”
